Yeah I'm not saying that's the case or not, but I would be much more comfortable if FieryLion simply said something even it's just a "It's cool".

Wow, no response.     That kind of says it all really.

While I appreciate that this game has resumed development, I have a couple questions for the new maintainer before I place trust in this change.

1. Could FieryLion please do a blog post (or something) confirming that maintainer switch.

2. Has Itch communicated as to why they have flagged this for potential abuse/risky files?

3. Is the web build coming back?

I would advise caution for a few reasons:

1. The new version is from a different author; an explanation of this was included with the 2.3.0 build and may be 100% legit but FieryLion has not said anything either way.

2. The web build is missing

3. Itch may have gotten actual reports and the 'try my game' scam is real.  

I'd recommend trying this new build in a sandbox or virtual environment at the very least - just to be on the safe side.      

TL;DR: This may be fine but it may also not be, be cautious!

Yay!

Yay! Looking forward to it!

Is this going to get updated on Itch?  Still on 0.32.

I miss this game.

You've really captured the old school LucasArts look!

Where did the version number next to the download go?

Glad to see you back!

Is LM Studio a hard requirement?  I already have an openAI compatible textgen server running locally.  (oobabooga/text-generation-webui).

Well that's not disturbing or anything. *sigh*

Okay but I paid for this on Itch and it seems a bit unfair that I have to pay again elsewhere for updates.

I'm happy for you!   I tried Animus Non Grata and well it wasn't exactly my cup of tea I deeply oppose censorship and fully support you as a developer to tell the stories you wish to tell.

I've been heartened by the community's pushback on this (latest) censorship drive and I think the message is coming through.    (Everyone involved in calling etc, keep going!)

Not really, I downloaded the compressed one offered on Google Drive.

The PC version (uncompressed) download in the Itch client doesn't seem to make actual progress.

As of July 30th 2025 it is still quarantined.

It was just the scapegoat for this round, they would've just picked something else.

Yay, so that's what's wrong!

This is game abandoned?

It would be helpful to have a list of animals.

It says it's updated again but the version number is the same.  Should I download again?

Is there a version of this with 48x48 frames for RPG Maker MV/MZ?

Reached the end of 0.21's content and now I'm sad.

A couple notes:

1. I still want a Lyanna/Laura (maybe also Mia) full on scene :)
2. The self referential/fourth wall jokes are funny but they also pull me out of the story and this story is interesting enough that maybe should take those out.   I know some things are a little "convenient" but that's alright given the game's tone, it's largely a "sex comedy" but with some drama mixed in.
3. I've noticed season 2 has a bit more choice branching; really like to see that, adds a lot of replay value.

The Steam version seems to be ahead of this one.

Really enjoyed this! Good story and interesting characters.    

I do wish there was a little more choices to make but I know that gets complicated quick.

Hope someday to see some Lyanna/Miss Laura fun.

Won't buy it uncensored and I don't use Patreon.

Any chance of an uncensored version at some point?

Looking forward to see more in the series.

Is this censored?

I click on Talk, Action, Quest, etc and nothing happens.

Actually a modern post apoc set (with modified/improvised weapons) might be interesting too.  Too much of RPGMaker assets are fantasy.
